Isiah Martinez?

Anyone know what he is up to? I was just rewatching some of his matches with Nolf - just great matches.

In my opinion he was at his best as a freshman and his father's unfortunate passing I think took a toll on his career.

Anyways that's a bit off topic. Anyone know what he is up to? Is he still competing? Went the mma route? Coaching?

Where can you buy individual decent quality singlets?

I'm looking to buy some singlets just for fun and to wear at practice, but there doesn't seem to many stores that sell them. Rudis is way too expensive to buy multiple, and I don't want to get some cheap one off of amazon. Can someone give me some store recommendations please?

Wrestling world simulation game

wrestling program dynasty

Hey everyone, first time posting this game here publicly. I’ve been working on this college and international wrestling management/simulation game and figured it was finally time to get some outside feedback.
Fair warning: this is probably the shakiest of the games I’ve been working on. It may glitch at points, and there are definitely bugs I haven’t found yet. A big reason I’m posting it is that I can only sim through so many seasons myself, and a lot of issues don’t become obvious until you’ve played through multiple years or tried things I wouldn’t normally try.
The game is built around managing a college wrestling program, recruiting, setting lineups, competing through the college season, and then following wrestlers into freestyle with RTCs, the U.S. Open, U23s, international competition, Worlds, etc.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m trying to keep improving it and make the wrestling world as deep and realistic as I can. If anyone wants to mess around with it, I’d really appreciate feedback. bugs, things that don’t make sense from a wrestling perspective, features you’d want added, balancing issues, or anything else you notice.

I already have a much more updated version privately worked on with an individual match simulation engine and a massive wrestler database that’s sortable but it’s having some issues and I don’t want to post it until I’ve figured out exactly what’s going on (freestyle comps wont simulate).

How Do I Avoid Getting Standing Front Headlocked?

I'm pretty new to wrestling and I was doing live with someone, and we were hand fighting and wrestling, and all of a sudden my head got snatched into this kind of standing front headlock and then they snapped me down from there. How do I avoid getting into this position. At first I thought it was to keep my eyes and head up better I see wrestlers keep their eyes down when close in like I was, and this didn't happen to them

What Happened To David Taylor's Second Puberty?

Not to hate on him or anything. But I remember when David Taylor went through second puberty when he was in his late 20s. Throughout his career he was known for being a lanky technical genius but pretty unmuscular for a wrestler. I remember he even mentioned not being "built that way". Then in his late 20s his second puberty led to his jaw growing - similar to bodybuilders, him gaining 30 pounds of muscle while getting leaner, capped delts and getting bad bacne.

It seemed like his genetics changed entirely during second puberty. Now at okie state I assume david still works out - why does he look a lot more like he did before his second puberty?

Hassan Yazdani doesn't really look like he went through a second puberty imo

What the least effective or most useless move in folkstyle?

We were discussing some moves, and someone mentioned how ineffective a particular move was. This sparked a conversation about various moves that are widely taught but not very effective. We were specifically excluding niche moves. Does anyone have a move that they believe is widely taught but actually sucks?

Underhook Head Position Drama

Anybody else seeing the back and forth between im.teva and ebedjarrell on instagram talking about head position with the underhook? Seems played out but does bring up some fun discussion.

Growing up I learned that inside head position is super important and you don't want an underhook or 2on1 without it. But if you watch international competition, most wrestlers do not use that inside position to score. Thoughts?

Getting back on the mat in late 30s?

I’m in my late 30s and haven’t wrestled since high school. But I found an adult wrestling club in my area so I’m interested in starting again.

If you took a break from wrestling or started wrestling later in life, when did you (re)start?

Any advice for someone like me?
